Correction Notice for Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill; Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment
AGENCY:
Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION:
Notice of availability and request for comments; correction.
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the Framework Agreement for Early Restoration Addressing Injuries Resulting from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, the Federal and State natural resource trustee agencies (Trustees) prepared a Draft Early Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (DERP/EA) describing and proposing a suite of early restoration projects intended to commence the process of restoring natural resources and services injured or lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which occurred on or about April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico. On December 14, 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior (DOI), published a notice in the Federal Register informing the public of the availability of the DERP/EA and seeking written comments. This notice included a mailing address error, which the Service corrects via this notice.
DATES:
We will consider public comments received on or before February 14, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On December 14, 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), United States Department of the Interior (DOI), published a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 78016) informing the public of the availability of the DERP/EA and seeking written comments on the proposed restoration alternative presented in the DERP/EA.
This notice misstated the post office box number to which commenters could send comments. The correct post office box address is:
U.S. Mail: c/o U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 2099, Fairhope, AL 36533.
The Service has taken several steps to ensure that comments sent to the incorrect post office box are routed to the correct box, including filing a change of address form and coordinating with the U.S. Postal Service directly.
Everything else in the December 14, 2011, notice, including the other methods for public comment it offered, remains the same.
